Aruba Beach Café

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL

Overview

We haven't made it to this bar yet, but here is what we know

In the charming beach town of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, the Aruba Beach Café has been the go-to oceanfront destination for over three decades. Three bars, live music seven days a week, and seating that spills right up to the sand make this one of the most reliably excellent beachfront bar experiences in Broward County. The seafood menu punches above its beach-bar weight class: the blackened swordfish on Caesar salad and seafood enchiladas earn genuine raves, and the Sunday Funday brunch draws a crowd that arrives with energy and leaves happy. Come early for the best outdoor seats facing the water, and stay for the sunset.

We Haven’t Been Here Yet

The Beach Bar Bum hasn’t made it to Aruba Beach Café yet. Budget cuts, tragic. But there’s water, drinks, and zero shoe policy, so it’s on the list. We just need a brave soul to confirm it’s real, preferably with a cold drink in hand.
